Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper features a durable aluminum casting material that reduces unsprung weight while maintaining strength. The caliper uses two steel pistons with a diameter of 42 mm (1.654 inches), providing balanced clamping force on the brake pads. It is a floating type caliper, which allows for self-alignment during braking. The inlet fitting is a banjo style with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. The included bleeder screw also features an M10x1.0 thread size, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance.

Included with the caliper are the mounting bracket and abutment clips, essential for secure and correct installation. However, mounting hardware and brake pads are not included and must be sourced separately. The caliper is finished in gray, which helps resist corrosion and wear over time. This part carries the casting number K247-037c, ensuring traceability and quality control.
